UFC 137 Previews

The UFC has been busy in 2011, as it seems like every weekend we are previewing another fight card. In just over two weeks, UFC 137 GSP v Condit takes place at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. Entering the weekend’s action, Canadian folk hero George St. Pierre will be putting his Welterweight title on the line against last minute opponent Carlos Condit. In the co-main event, the man GSP was supposed to face, Nick Diaz will be battling fan favorite BJ Pen. Here is a sports betting preview of UFC 137.

UFC 137 as has been the case with many UFC cards in 2011, is a stacked show. From the top of the card all the way to the main event, MMA fans whether live or at a bar, will have trouble staying in their seats. For fans of the Heavyweight division, expect top draws Mirko Cro Cop and Roy “Big Country” Nelson to kick off the main card. Nelson the former TUF 13 winner is looking to rebound, after a disappointing loss to best friend Frank Mir back in April. However, he will be in tough against the man simply known by his fans as Cro Cop. Coming off knockout loss to Brendan Schaub in March, a victory against Nelson, may go a long way in helping Cro Cop return to Heavyweight glamour.

Jumping ahead to the main event, fans and bookie software agents alike are giving Carlos Condit little to no chance of defeating Welterweight Champion George St. Pierre. But then again, when the Champion is riding a six fight win streak, you usually do not bet against him. This fight should be a difficult one for GSP, as he has had little time to readjust his game plan against Condit. Nevertheless, look for GSP to finally win a fight by knockout, as the unanimous decision victories are beginning to become tiresome.
